Legendary wrestling commentator Jim Ross recently had an interview with DAZN where he talked about a number of things and offered high praise to a young AEW star claiming that he will be the next breakout star for them.
The wrestling veteran has a lot of experience in finding potential future stars due to his role as the head of talent management in WWE. He is responsible for signing people such as Brock Lesnar and John Cena.
Ross talked about another star who he believes has the ‘it factor’ during his interview. He praised MJF’s bodyguard Wardlow and compared him to a couple of former world champions.
The “IT” Factor
“Combination of a few guys, Physique wise, he reminds me of Lex Luger. I think he’s going to end up being a much better worker. That’s not knocking Lex. He’s a little like Dave Batista. He’s still evolving. Batista got getting better and better as he got older. He was never going to be confused with Kurt Angle or Dory Funk Jr.
This kid’s got it. He has the ‘IT’ factor. We can’t manufacture the ‘IT’ factor.” said Jim Ross, “You can’t anoint them with the ‘IT’ factor. You have ‘IT’ or don’t have ‘IT’. This kid’s got ‘IT’.”
The AEW commentator explained that Wardlow not only has the big frame that promoters covet but he is also an athletic big man, something which the wrestling fans love.
Jim Ross went on to predict that Wardlow will be the break-out star for AEW in the future and his time could come as soon as this year or in 2022.
Wardlow will be in action this Sunday at AEW Double or Nothing. He’ll compete in the Stadium Stampede match, when his faction The Pinnacle battles The Inner Circle.
